So here I go.... You may wonder why I'm starting this blog. It's really for two reasons. First to keep my family and friends informed of what's going on. There's just too many of you to keep updated - sorry. Second is therapy. I'm hoping that by writing about my days, treatments, thoughts, etc it will help me get a handle on this and keep me positive and full of fight.
This all started in March when I ended up n the ER with beathing problems and was diagnosed with pleurisy. In the CAT scan they found a few nodules and enlarged lympth nodes. Hoping it was due to the infection they waited a few weeks and repeated the CAT scan. No such luck! They found lesions (new word for tumors) in my lung area, liver and bones. So two weeks of tests (liver biopsy, PET, ECHO, MRI) showed I also have a bone lesion pressing on my brain. I had hoped to qualify for a Clinical Study showing good results but due to the new development they want to start radiation on my head right away. Tomorrow I will start chemo (hercepton and taxol) along with radiation.
So wish me luck and keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin this journey.
